The events actually start a year before with the death of Maya's friend, Serena. Maya, the main character, is the adopted daughter of the park ranger. Cloud Corporation, the owners of the town and surrounding park. The setting for The Gathering is a small medical-research town called Salmon Creek on Vancouver Island. I listened to it nearly straight through.This section needs expansion. The adventure & intrigue & romance throughout the rest of this book was great. I think maybe the narrator was just trying to make herself sound young in the first book.because she really stepped it up for this book. This is by far the best book of the trilogy. It starts slow with the first book, gets more interesting with the second and really is brought home with the third!. in the meantime I suggest you start listening to this trilogy. Genetically altered supernaturals? Check Evil corporation out to hunt the genetically altered supernaturals? Check Journey to safety? Check More than one obstacle on the way to safety? Check Love story along the way? Check Fear that the people you trust may not be worthy of trust? Check I'll stay tuned to the next 2 hours. There's a stronger sense of urgency, danger, intensity, desire, hopefulness and paranoia. I have 2 hours left of the audiobook and so far the story has just been awesome. Why should an adult ever listen to a 15 year old? Don't adults always know better? Blah! Listen to the kid!!! Tori finally calms down a bit and learns that she doesn't have to mouth off every 2.3 seconds.don't worry she's still plenty spunky and snarky.just not as mean. As in earth rocking, earth shattering, earth splitting graveyard disaster.

And as you can guess this led to ave disaster. Margaret, a necromancer, who used to be one of the bad guys tries to help Chloe and instead refuses to believe Chloe (thinks she's making up stories) about how strong her powers are. Derek finally turns fully into a werewolf. Chloe finally figures out which guy she is really into and goes on her first date. ** spoiler alert ** **SPOILERS** So far this is the best book of the trilogy.
